Wednesday Pet Roundup

Hi and welcome to Wednesday Pet Roundup!I wanted to start out with this. While not exactly pets, I just love this short video, especially the sound of the webbed feet on the pavement. Here's your smile for the day:

* Leash laws: For or Against? Should dogs be able to run off-leash in national parks? The New York Times reports on laws restricting unleashed dogs to fenced-in areas in certain national parks and recreation areas. Damage of habitat is cited as one problem. In the San Francisco area, for example, dogs are being blamed for contributing to the endangerment of the mission blue butterflies and western snowy plover.

* Cloning your beloved pet: For or Against? L.A. Times tells us that businessman Peter Onruang, has paid $310,000 to have his dogs Wolfie and Bubble cloned.

* New pet technology. The Daily Kibble reviews Pet Hub, a dog tag containing ID and other information in an online presence for your dog.

Over in my country... they are only a few parks that dogs can go. That's really sad because we do have some beautiful parks. And i think cloning your pet is very wrong. There are so many pets waiting for a forever home at the shelters, it is so wrong for someone to spend so much money to clone their dogs.
